App- Foireann - how can you sort out an issue with a child set up with an account and userid.
Hi,
how can i rectify where a child has been set up with a userid. the child now has a unique id in foireann.
To avoid this happening when a Date of Birth is entered that is under 18 can foireann not give a kickback to this happening?
thanks

Here's how I sort it in my club.
First of all it happens because the person who creates the account ticks a box to say they are over 18 when they are not. Then they subsequently enters a DOB which indicates they are under 18. I have even had cases where a parent creates an account for themselves and subsequently changes everything about it, including DOB, to represent one of their children.
I think the easiest change Foireann could make (i.e. without it being a lot of work) would be to prevent an under-18 DOB being entered in the profile of a Foireann account-holder - i.e. just as you suggest.
Anyway, I have done the following to resolve:- I contact the parent/guardian, and ask them to create an account in their own name.
- With the parent's permission, manually add a new member in the same name as the child, with all of the same information in this second profile for the child as in the child's first profile.
- Then I create a family under the parent's profile.
- Then I add the second child profile to the parent's family.
- Then I merge the first and second child profiles, with the second child profile as PRIMARY. Thus the first child profile is no more and the child's foireann account is disabled.
I suspect that if I had to do all of the above again with the present Foireann capabilities, then I might be able to skip creating a second profile and merge - i.e. simply move the child profile into the parent's family as a child. Try that out, and if that does not work then the roundabout way I did it before should work.
